Minutemen

1. A group of armed men and boys, who wear military uniforms that would otherwise require special training to earn, who conceal racism behind vigilante ‘enforcement’ of immigration law, except without actual legal standing themselves. 2. Originally, a 100% immigrant militia who resisted oppression by their government when, under English colonial rule, their movements and activities were restricted by required documentation, their access to citizenship limited by official & unofficial second class status, and their ability to work and trade controlled by licensing and military interference, such as requiring official seals on the tea they were selling, and stationing checkpoint guards at borders to ensure enforcement. Those from whom participation in the legal system was required but to whom adequate political representation was denied.

Ideologues

1. People so absolute in their beliefs that they cannot change their minds, and so committed to other people sharing those beliefs that they view dissent itself as something to be squashed and cannot disengage without the death or conversion of their opponents. The only course of action with ideologues is to cut them off – they can’t agree to disagree or accept anything short of capitulation. 2. People who believe that sufficient continued argument will eventually result in you (and all reasonable people) agreeing with them.
